What to Focus On

  • Over 60 elements were known by mid-19th century
  • Individual study became increasingly difficult
  • First classification: metals and non-metals

  • Elements grouped in sets of three (triads)
  • All three elements in a triad had similar properties
  • Middle element's atomic mass = average of other two

  • Elements arranged in order of increasing atomic mass
  • Every 8th element showed similar properties to the 1st
  • First recognition of periodicity in properties

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Atomic mass is the basis of the modern periodic table

All elements in the same group have exactly the same properties

Period number equals the number of electrons in an atom

Memory Tips
